I would like to complete this month of writing a poem a day with one of my favourite quotes about poetry: “Poetry is pulling images out of the sky, the air, the universe, and bringing them down to earth.” ~Marisa DeFranceschi.

Bliss sometimes comes from doing the hard thing. Writing a poem a day falls in this category. What else that is hard for you has turned out to be blissful?

Did you ever play card game Hearts ?The effort(rarely achieved) to collect all the tricks played is called “shoot for the moon.” The attempt usually results in taking all the plays except one or two which sticks you with a lot of unwanted points. But the accomplishment sticks everyone else with all the points and is a memorable feat of ultimate glory for the hearts player.

“Reach for the stars but keep your feet on the ground.” Theodore Roosevelt

Roosevelt sounds like my kind of guy. I am notoriously bad at cards–except for go fish. For some reason my mind does not work well when it comes to playing anything more complicated than that–but I do understand the satisfaction of a game well played.

~ AWARDS ~

I will no longer be accepting Awards.
I am honoured to be remembered, nominated and given awards but I will not partake in the Award "ceremonies".
Thank you to all who have given me awards in the past: you make my soul sing.
